Hahas yeahs.. finally. Today's weather report read "Partly cloudy. Showers with thunder over northern, eastern and central Singapore in the afternoon." Hahas, no western part of Singapore. So I set out at 2pm in the afternoon for a bike ride.
Decided to go cycle the Pangsua PCN just behind Pioneer JC and follow it to the end.(Apparently able to get to 7 parks with Pangsua PCN - Zhenghua, Bukit Panjang, Choa Chu Kang, Yew Tee, Limbang, Teck Whye). Took me about an hour to get there by first taking the Choa Chu Kang Park PCN from Bukit Gombak. Then traveled towards Zhenghua Park but didn't actually go there. Was actually trying to get to Dairy Farm road. Been intending to go cycling in that area for quite some time already. However, just couldn't get there, kept going round in circles. Even almost got onto KJE expresway too. Thankfully, as predicted, there was a bright sun shining above all through the trip. Finally decided to try again from Choa Chu Kang Park to see if it may lead to Dairy Farm Road. Therefore, I headed back the way I came.
However, as I approached Choa Chu Kang Park, crossing the bridge at the traffic junction somewhere near KSS, it started drizzling. Lolx! It was about 4+ or 5pm already by then, almost 3 hours after I left home. I started to cycle faster hoping to get some shelter at CCK Park and head back home after the rain stops.
Unfortunately, I was too late when I got to CCK Park. Almost all the shelter or pavillions had already been taken up. By now the rain had started to become heavier so I slipped into a sort of sheltered cafe and waited there. I didn't have long to wait though. The rain slowly started to reduce to a drizzle. From where I was standing, I could see that the place where I just came from was a blur. Seems that the rain has moved on. I then headed homewards.
Again I followed CCK PCN all the way to Cdans Bukit Batok. However, after circling a few times, dunno why, failed to locate the road which I usually took. Fearing that the rain would get here, I then took the only route that I could rmb at that point in time, the route that Bus 187 takes. Although a slightly longer route, I did eventually get home at around 6+pm. It didn't drizzle for the rest of the journey though, which was lucky coz I wasn't going too quickly. The floor was wet throughout though, seems that it did rain in this area before. Hope that I can cycle some more when I get back from Korea.
